About Stephanie

Stephanie Borgono is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) based in New Jersey with 19 years of clinical experience helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, ADHD, and major life changes.

Background and approach

She blends practical, evidence-informed techniques with empathy to help clients identify unhelpful thinking patterns, develop coping strategies, and regain a sense of control during difficult transitions. Her work draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy alongside mindfulness and solution-focused methods, offering a mix of short-term skills training and reflective practices tailored to each person’s circumstances.

Stephanie emphasizes clear communication, emotional regulation, and steps clients can take between sessions to practice new skills. She aims to create a collaborative relationship in which goals and progress are regularly reviewed and adjusted.

Clients in her practice can expect a pragmatic yet compassionate approach that balances symptom relief with skill-building for longer-term resilience. Stephanie’s New Jersey licensure and nearly two decades of experience guide her clinical judgment, while her sessions prioritize practical tools for everyday challenges and meaningful personal growth.

How evidence-informed approaches translate to online care

Stephanie uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help clients notice and reframe unhelpful thoughts and to practice skills that reduce anxiety and depression symptoms. She also incorporates Mindfulness Therapy to cultivate present-moment awareness and stress reduction through simple attention and breathing practices. These approaches are presented in practical, easy-to-use ways that clients can apply between sessions.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist works with each person to clarify goals, try techniques, and adjust methods based on what fits the client’s needs and preferences. Together they evaluate what is helping and make changes to keep progress moving forward.

Online therapy with Stephanie is available through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, providing flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These formats make it possible to continue consistent work from home or another convenient location, allowing for regular skill practice and timely support when life becomes stressful.
